It’s Friday, which mean one thing. Time to test the old brain cells with our maths skills.
Maths
Time to warm up those brains. Practise your times table by playing Hit the Button. Can the children make sure that if they are on the x3, x4,x8 , x6, x7, x9 or x11 that they also practise the division side too.
They could always access their Times Table Rock Star Accounts to practise too.
Premiership If you emailed me your child’s score I will email you telling you whether your child has moved on to the next times table or needs to look at the same times table as last week. They are ordered below.
x5 x10 x3 x4 x8 x6 x7 x9 x11 x12
Mental Arithmetic
We always follow Premiership with a mental arithmetic test. Usually, I play them an audio clip of a lady reading out the questions. They are timed so all you need is hit play!
If you can’t get the audio above to play, then I’ll attach the questions and the answers below. With the first 10 questions, the children get 5 seconds to answer after the question is repeated. On the last five questions, the children get 10. We have tried to encourage the children to listen to the question the first time and jot down anything they think will help and once the question is repeated, then they can answer. If they have jotted notes down to help, then they can always return to the question if they have finished another question quite easily.
Year 3 Spring 8 FOR ADULTS
Spring Test 8 FOR CHILDREN
Afterwards, we mark it and go through some of the questions and talk about how we could answer them quickly.
English- Please see Mrs Hilditch’s post .
Spellings- Please test your children on this weeks spellings.
New spellings- Below are a new set of spellings to learn over the next week.
Group 1/ Group 2 – Group 1 and 2 Week 3
Group 3 – Group 3 Week 3
Reading
Usually on a Friday we don’t do a whole Guided Reading session but rather get the children to have 20-30 minutes of quiet, independent reading. It allows the children a little down time and is considered a mindful activity. Perhaps, even play some some calming music in the background to help them relax during this strange time. If you want, send us in a photo of the children reading and we can print it off and stick them to our reading journal wall!
RE
We are continuing with out topic of Judaism but this time we are specifically focusing of a Jewish holiday known as Passover. If you didn’t finish/do last weeks work on the Passover, then please look back at last week’s post.
If you did, I’m setting a very simple reading comprehension based on the Passover. This is because the next lesson is more of a discussion based activity and I may as well wait for all of you guys to be back in class to do it.
